Things truly have such cases, and it is naturally so with human beings. Xiang \[Yu\] and Yang \[Huo\] resembled them in appearance but not in reality; because their mental organs were not equal, their outward appearance was of no benefit. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.9.65) - [Next: 9.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.9.67) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102~en-mt.9.66) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.9.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.9.66) · Pramāṇa
